The pilot episode of The Deuce was directed by series executive producer Michelle MacLaren, which may account for the emphasis on male nudity.
Like Wonder Woman, the first episode of The Deuce feels instructive in the value of the female gaze in an industry dominated by male perspectives.
In fact, the first bit of nudity we see in The Deuce is a man’s penis.
By contrast, it took five episodes for Game of Thrones, a series saturated with (often incidental) naked female bodies, to feature full frontal male nudity.
